چکیده

بیت نت شبکه شبکه ارتباطاتی الکترونیکی برای تحصیلات عالیه می­ باشد. خصوصیات عمومی شبکه، خدمات، قابل دسترس بودن بیت نت برای جغرافیدانان دانشگاهی، و استفاده آنها از سیستم در اینجا آزمایش شده ­اند. هر چند بیش از 80 درصد استادان جغرافیا در ایالات متحده آمریکا و کانادا در سازمان­ های تامین شده بیت نتی ، یک بررسی روسای گروه تخصصی انجمن جغرافیدانان آمریکایی پیشنهاد می­ کند که استفاده واقعی جغرافیدان ها از بیت نت نسبتا پایین است.

چکیده [English]

 BITNET is an electronic communications network for higher education. The general characteristics of the network, the services, the availability to academic geographers and their utilization of the system have been tested here. Although more than 80 percent of geography professors in the United States and Canada are now included in organizations provided by BITNET, a survey of the heads of the specialized department of the Association of American Geographers suggests that the actual use of BITNET by geographers is relatively low.
